SERGIO INTORRE

Il presepe di Andrea Tipa nel Monastero de las Salesas Reales di Madrid

Abstract

The essay studies the nativity scene in coral, ivory and precious materials in the Monasterio de las Salesas Reales in Madrid, made by Andrea Tipa in 1749, the only work known to date to bear the signature of the master from Trapani. The Madrid nativity scene is contextualised with the production so far attributed to Andrea and the Tipa family and its exhibition history and restoration are reconstructed.
